Earthships

Untitled-2

Greetings Sustainable Living Supporters,

Earthship Australia was established in 2009 to provide resources, knowledge and experiences for people wishing to move 'off-grid' and learn how to build alternative thermal mass dwellings and structures.  Earthships are one of many new radical modes of building which are complimenting an interest in alternative building design practices.  It has been a growing movement attracting communities and professionals form a range of fields and we would like to welcome all to our upcoming event.

Coming up in September we have a weekend workshop seminar which combines practical experience with a host of seminars presented by experienced Earthship builders, architects, planners, engineers, solar experts and an opportunity to have drinks and network with industry professionals about alternative living options and processes.  

A must for anyone with questions for the natural building industry or simply curious how to move forward in this direction.  

For tickets please head to www.trybooking.com/FOZH or check out our website www.earthshipaustralia.org.au for details of the workshop.
